It’s time to push your chips in for the John Petropoulos Memorial Fund.
Not literally, of course. Hold onto your money and donate your time instead, if you’re able.

The casino is, by far, our biggest fundraiser…so if you are able to help out, that would be very much appreciated!

About the JPMF
The JPMF was started shortly after the death of Calgary Police Constable John Petropoulos on Sept 29th, 2000. John was investigating a break and enter complaint when he stepped through a false ceiling, fell nine feet into the lunchroom below and died of a brain injury. There was no safety railing to warn him of the danger; the complaint turned out to be a false alarm.
John was 32.
The JPMF is a registered Canadian charity that raises public awareness about workplace safety issues and educates people about why & how to ensure their workplaces and the roads are safer for everyone, including emergency responders. For further information, please visit jpmf.ca.
